What O/S is the laptop running?
Depending on the version you may have to make some changes to files to activate some type of tty process against the usb port for it to generate a connection.
Does the O/S have a file like /etc/inittab - or even better in this case does the laptop have any kind of serial port? In which case there may well be a running tty process, that you will be able to connect to.
